Imagine a leisurely stroll on a sunny afternoon through a field of wildflowers, bees buzzing, birds singing, the wind blowing your hair, and the sweet, sweet smell of saffron. Now, you know what delights inspired the creation of Smitherman & Barnwell.

Motivated by the Italian countryside surrounding a quaint villa in Italy, designer Vondra Barnwell-Williams set her sights on crafting fashion indulgences that were functional yet whimsically fantastic! Utilizing this beautiful setting that has stirred many of the world's renowned artists, her creations (including girl's dresses as well as doggie collars fashioned with vintage ribbons) are an apt tribute to the perfect palate of rich texture and amazing hues.
